Swift and effective dispute resolution 

Osbornes’ well-respected commercial property disputes team gives practical advice to both landlords and tenants. Our focus is on providing early assistance so problems can be avoided before they escalate into something far more serious. We lean on decades of experience to help you identify the best, most cost-effective dispute-resolution strategy, minimise the impact of the problem, and achieve an efficient, positive result.

How can we help?

Landlord and tenant disputes involving commercial leases require swift and effective resolution to prevent harmful consequences for both parties, such as loss of revenue for landlords or disruption to trade for a commercial tenant.

The types of disputes we help with include:

  • Rent arrears
  • Service charge recovery
  • Rent review disputes
  • Commercial lease renewals
  • Dilapidations and repair disputes
  • Breach of covenant
  • Forfeiture
  • Break clauses and surrenders
  • Disputes in relation to assignment, subletting and change of use

Litigation in commercial leasing disputes can be lengthy and expensive. It’s important to take legal advice sooner rather than later to keep costs down. We have some of the best property litigation solicitors in the country, offering common-sense advice and fighting to get your dispute resolved quickly.
